Jens Ravens discusses the state of server-side Swift on Linux, exploring its safety benefits and comparing various early web frameworks.
Hooray, open source Swift finally arrived on Linux in December. Let's see how easy it is to use Swift for your backend and why Swift is a good choice for safe and fast development. Now that Parse.com has closed, this might be a viable alternative for iOS developers. Agenda - Swift on Linux: What is missing? - Why Swift for Backends might be a good idea - How the web and http actually work - Get your "Hello World" in less than a minute (live coding) - Open Source Server Frameworks like Swifter, Taylor, Nest Project, Perfect and Epoch - Isomorphic Swift - Share code between Server and App Will there be Swift on Rails? If there is some time left: Comparison to other frameworks and languages: node.js, Ruby on Rails, Go, Java and Elixir/Phoenix. Realtime Apps, Websockets and APIs Better Safe than Sorry: Typesafety as a safety net.Why it's here
